Hey all, bought a 97 gp gtp and looking to restore/mod my new ride. Got her for $1600 with 99k miles. Any gtp owners in or near lynchburg VA?

Good deal! And rust? Strut towers and rockers?? http://www.grandprixforums.net/threa...ding-Your-3800!
Read this beginners guide to modding and most of all welcome

Nope, seems to be pretty much rust free, except for the stock springs and struts.

I'm trying to upload pics on my iPhone4 and it keeps telling me my pics exceed the Kb quota... How do I get around this?

Using tapatalk?

Oh well, the car came with the U-bent delete, *180 therm, cooler spark plugs, and new tie rod ends. I've got a 3.5 pulley waiting to go on as soon as I get my puller rental from zzp!

You got anyway to scan for KR before you pully drop? If the car just has a ubend delete it might knock pretty bad untill you get more exhaust mods done.

^ I wasn't going to point that out but Russ is right..don't get pulley happy until you can make sure that your kr free or roll the dice with your engine and hope for the best

[GrandPrick97]

I don't have any way to check for KR, I guess ill just install the 3.5 and try to stay off the boost till I can check

[REDCRAPGP]

Or just keep the stock pulley on there.. And drop down when you have the proper mods and a way to scan for KR.

[Russosaur]

I would advise against that.....

Do you have an android phone by chance?

Ok how do I log in to taptalk on this forum? I wanna show some pics allready

[Russosaur]

You gotta search for our forum on tapatalk and sign in using your login details and it should save it. I haven't had to do it in a while but you should be able to figure it out once you look at it.

The zzp site says I can install a 3.5 completely stock, so I thought I was allready playing it safe? I allready rented and shipped the tool so I'm def installing it, I need a disciplined right foot now

You should of did some more research and not just take vendors word for it..

Even stock cars knock even with the stock 3.8 pulley and some still chip pistons. The lower the pulley the more deadly KR is. You shouldn't touch the pulley until you have some way of scanning..
